Dignity in old age: caring for Willow

Help Willow stay in her own home with six months of part-time care.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 74. After a heart attack Willow can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Willow desperately wants to stay at home. I work 25 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer. Willow worked all of her life as a schoolteacher, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies. Where the $6,150 goes: • Part-time carer (six months): $4,350 • Medication and prescriptions: $810 • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $360 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $630 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    So sorry you're going through this, Stephanie. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Leeds
